    It is part of "South By Southwest" aka SXSW....its a very highly-regarded music conference/festival in Austin.....hundreds of band showcase there......music biz people from allover the world attend, so its a great way for REM to launch the new record.

    My girlfriend is there, but I don't think she was able to get into the show.\\I think they play 1 hour.

    Thx, just what I needed right now :D

    There should be a website that keeps track of all the livestreams being broadcast every day. Hard to keep track of all the music out there.
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?

    I know basically none of the songs they're playing (got only 1 or 2 of their albums) but I find it very accessible nevertheless

    oh man, you gotta get their albums. they are one of the greatest bands ever! this live show kicks ass though, whether or not you kno the songs or not. i dont kno the new songs they are playing, but they sound very good.

    They're gonna play Bad Day soon though. I certainly know that one. And I got the album with Nightswimming on it, but that's obligatory.

    I think it just rambles on, Bad Day is more more up-beat, up-tempo and anthemic. Not to say that slow songs are necessarily bad, Nightswimming is great for example.

    I totally disagree. I think Bad Day is a pretty cool song, although it is basically a re-tread of It's the end of the world as we know it....I think Leaving New York is a really moving song, and the vocal harmonies towards the end are vintage REM.

    Nothing wrong with having two songs of that nature in your catalogue ;)
